Animal United is a 2010 animated movie that is directed by Reinhard Kloos and Holger Tappe, and starring James Corden as the voice of Billy, Stephen Fry as the voice of Socrates, Billie Piper as the voice of Bonnie, Mischa Goodman as the voice of Billy’s son Junior, Dawn French as the voice of Angie, Joanna Lumley as the voice of Giselle, Sean Schemmel as the voice of Rhinoceros Biggie, Marc Thompson as the voice of Waterbuffalo Chino, Jason Griffith as the voice of Chimpanzee Toto, and Andy Serkis as the voice of Charles. This movie is produced by Constantin Film, and runs about 93 minutes.

All of animals want water to drink. In the place where they live, there is a little water and it not enough to drink, because so many animals need the water. Meanwhile, an animals names Billy tries to get some water for his son, Junior. However, the water supply is more and more decrease, and Billy cannot get the water. Because of that, Junior feel disappointed with his father.

One day, the animals gather together to discuss about their precarious situation. Billy say that he ever find cool water that trapped way up in leopard canyon, by the massive stones, that is built by humans. After they listen to Billy’s explanation  then they plan to go to that place to free up the water. Then, it is a chance for Billy to proof that he is a good father for Junior.

 I think this is a good movie, which is we can learn about togetherness, and solidarity. In this movie, the animals act like human. I like this movie because it can amuse me through the act of animals. The visual effect in this movie is interesting and looks like real. There are also many kind of languages in this movie, so that audiences can learn those languages while they are watching. However, there are too many songs in this movie, because I think the songs are not necessary.

In conclude, I think this movie is recommended for all ages, especially for children. In this movie, children can learn many things, such as work together, patience, and help each other. This movie can also amuse the children through the scenes, because children usually prefer to watch this kind of movie. By watching this movie, children can learn to love animals. According to me, the moral value in this movie is do not wait for something coming to you, instead you should try to reach it.
